I was ideologically in tune with the Rules Committee on it because I too deplored this procedure of placing nongermane amendments on legislation which we send to the other body. So the Rules Committee was loath to give a rule and I would not press it because I was ideologically in tune with them. This left me with the only recourse to save the civil servants who were members of the border patrol. of taking the floor. This required of course 40 minutes of debate. with 20 minutes on each side. and a twothirds vote of the House was required on the matter after such short debate.
